  1. As someone said on the other thread blocks that were grey for certain stands are now green. So they might be opening up blocks one at a time. So could potentially be tens of thousands of tickets left

    If that was the case they would have gone from grey (not available) to dark blue (very good availability)...

  2. Heading to Ibrox tomorrow with the boy, as I have done for years now, however despite a cracking team in Scotland colours I can't ever remember ever having felt so downbeat about the match.

    After the Referendum I'm still crushed and to be honest a bit embarrassed about being "Scottish".....whatever the f*ck that means nowadays.

    The Poland away trip was a possibility but that's been ditched for a family holiday, the England home match is a definite non-starter due to listening to 90 mins of laughter coming from their fans....oh, and the ticket prices.

    Ah'm scunnered, p*ssed off and probably depressed................

    For so long as one hundred of us remain etc...

  3. Received an email this morning with the following advice. Doesn't affect me but it would have been helpful to provide information about where the "Ticket Centre" can be found...

    "Due to the high volume of collections for tomorrow's match the ticket collection has been moved, at the request of Rangers FC to the Ticket Centre.

    All ticket collections will be from the Ticket Centre from 12noon tomorrow."

  4. Anybody want to hazard a guess at the attendance on Saturday? I`ll try 38,122.......who takes the rap for the SFA missing out on 12,000 x £35.....a shortfall of nearly £400,000 to SFA finances when we are skint........

    There won't be a shortfall of £400k because most of us have paid over the odds for our tickets, and therein lies the problem.

    For me the difficulty is that the members of SSC have absolutely no say in the pricing of tickets. We are being dictated to by whichever individual or committee has come up with this outrageous scheme. Instead of carrying out a half-baked survey about what benefits the members would prefer why not ask members to put put their names forward for election to a supporters' group who can negotiate on the members behalf when it comes to pricing/ season tickets/ membership fees/ benefits etc?

  5. All running smoothly now. Extra Tickets booked for the Ireland game and looking at the areas left for sale it is heading for a sell out. Might not even go to a public sale.........

    This is good news. Having been amongst home fans on my travels (France and Germany) notwithstanding it's better if we sell out our sections. A win on Saturday and a point in Warsaw and Celtic Park will be bouncing that night. Could well be a massive game in the campaign...

  6. While I fully agree that the pricing strategy is indefensible a wee bit of perspective is required.

    The last Scotland game I attended at Ibrox was against the might of Italy in 1992. Should have been a stick on full house you would think.

    The crowd was 33,029.

    A 40,000 plus attendance v Georgia will be an astonishing turnout in comparison...

  7. Hope by next saturday it will just be slight over with both stands behind the goals sold out and the Govan stand close to sold out. Can see the Copland road stand making some ammount of noise next saturday getting right behind Gordon and the team.

    Out of interest, is there any reason why the Copland Road stand is likelier to be any noisier than any other section of the ground?

  8. 11 areas very good availability left

    18 areas good availability left

    43 areas either sold out, or virtually sold out

    Probably translates to around just over two thirds of the tickets sold with a week to go. Approx 35,000 so far. More encouragingly the Republic game looks like it's heading for a sell out...

  9. i thought it was no longer a country

    thats what keep getting told anyway

    hopefully the majority are over the referendum and don't give a monkeys tadger to all the political posturing and get on with the game in hand

    can imagine if we fought the falklands war these days ; that we'd be turning on ourselves , demos at games - free the malvinas etc

    Yeah let's just continue to be cap doffing, subservient bastirts to the establishment...

  10. I've been giving this subject a bit of thought.

    It would take a bit of co-ordinating but how about we stay silent and LISTEN to the national anthem on this poignant occasion after 45 percent of us have spoken, feel the sentiment that the song invokes, then raise the rafters. We could even just join in for the last chorus.

    Let's mark the moment...
